WDL daily hits

Hey Guys,

Stupid question… Can WDL list down its daily hits on like textpad or something? I dont think it suppports this feature right? I wouldnt like to have a counter on the main screen, as it won’t really look good, maybe a transparent one or something… any ideas?

WDL doesn’t keep track of hits. I think it can only read data, not write data.

The easiest would be to add a counter to your page. What type of counter depends on what type of configuration you have. It can be as visible or non-visible as you want it to be.

Mine is on the bottom of every page, using PHP and a PHP counter.

I am using Google Analytics, just required a snippet of code on your pages and if your site is in PHP or using SSI you can place it in a single file and include it with your footer so adding it is really simple…

I believe you need a Google account to use this but if so if anyone needs a google email invitation to get a google account just PM me with your email address and I can send one along…

I didn’t think you needed invitations anymore.

Hadn’t seen that “service” yet. Just added it to three sites to see how it works.

Very easy change, just added it to the top.php section for each page and done.

hmmm, interesting Google service - no harm in trying it I suppose. Will add to my data.php page

Interesting, I see they’ve added some convoluted sign up process to request an invitation code sent to a cell phone :roll:

If they still require you to do that you can get around that by getting a Gmail account with an invite from me :slight_smile:

I still have many spare invites too…
